it’s worth pointing out that large US tech companies hire international applicants and sponsor work visas for these folks. i get that not everyone is willing/able to make the move for various reasons, of course.

edit: applications -> applicants

The US would probably get a flood of extremely high quality applicants if they only fixed a few basic social services.
